Dakota's Prosperity.

Notwithstanding the fact that all
residents of Dakota are busily engaged
in the admission business, recent figures
show that she has been paying some
considerable attention to agricultural
pursuits and her mining interests. In
stock raising, too, the great northern
territory is rapidly advancing, and
whether admitted to the union, or left
out with its cold, a few years will witness
wonderful changes. The fostering of
the sheep industry and dairy interests;
the establishment of creameries; the de-
velopment of tin, coal and copper mines
so abundant in part of the territory,
together with the wonderful wheat crop
grown yearly, there is every reason to
believe that in very short time Dakota
will distance all western states in the
matter of wealth and population.
The idea entertained by eastern home
seekers that Dakota was cold, unin-
viting, arid region has been dismissed
by the well authenticated reports of her
development and resources. On every
hand is evidence OF prosperity and ad-
vancement, and all predictions of the
territory's future are favorable and well
founded.

Making Slow prOgreSs.

How little in political way has been
accomplished toward getting rid OF the
railway car stove, and substituting
therefor some other method of heating,
is shown by tho results of inquiries ad-
dressed by the Railrood Gazette to COM
panies operating 81 900 miles of road
and having 1900 cars that must be
heated in some way. The reports OBJ
tanned show that on these roads 1892
cars and 407 engines are fitted with
apparatus for continuous heating by
two-thirds of the cars and more than
half the engines are on the elevated
roads Of New York city. When the
fact is noted that there are fully $4,000
cars in use in the United States that
require to be heated it will be seen
that the travelling public must
still during the present winter
very generally encounter the stove,
with all the direful suggestions destruct-
i've of peace of mind that may spring
from its presence. The Gazette makes
the gratifying statement, however, that
most of the roads continue experiment.
ing, and the number of cars equipped
for trial is increasing daily, so that it is
possible there may be an extended sys-
tenn of steam heating before the winter
| is over. 1t is understood that the New
York Central will inaugurate heating
| by steam this week, and several other
roads in the east are said to be prepar-
| ing to do so as soon as possible, The
expense of putting in the steam heating
apparatus is considerable, and many
companies will undoubtedly yield
to the reform very reluctantly
but the demand for it is imperative and
must ultimately be universally complied
with. 1t may be remarked to the credit
OF the eastern roads that they appear tC
be manifesting more interest in this
matter than are those of the west.

records, newspapers who want to be

There is of course no regulation,

A COAL famine in the country and n
bread famine in the mining regions are
the bitter fruits of the policy which the
mine owners of Pennsylvania are carry
ing out in order to crush the unfortun-
ate miners or bring them to terms. The
situation in the Lehigh region is repre-
sented to be deplorable, while in many
portions of the country there is much
suffering among the poor who cannot
pay the prevailing high prices for coal.
1t is reported that the barons are in
tending to import miners from Belgium,
but it is not probable that these con-
scienceless monopolists will supplement
their utter disregard OF the public in
terests by an attempt TO defy the law
which forbids the importation of foreig n
labor under contract. They are not in
capable, however, OF doing even this.

Last Thursday.

Omaha People Had TO he
Thank ful For.

Thanksgiving day has come and gone. In 1880,
on the .uth day of December, the Pilgrim
Fathers landed In America. and Immediately
set aside IA day to be observed in general
Thanksgiving and fasting. Thanksgiving day
has since become u general holiday In the United
States. IL being appointed first by the president
by proclamation, after which the governors of
the several states also issue their proclamation
to their own constituency. The people of Ne.
during the year have been plenty and fruitful;
no epidemic has devastated the state. and no
serious accidents have marrcd the record of the
year. Among the many people of Omaha mono
had more cause to be thankful on that day than
the family OF Mr.. Wigs, residing at the corner
Of Twenty-eighth and Burdetto streets Last
July Blanche II little tiveyearold daughter OF
Mr.. Wiggs, was taken sick with scarlet fever.
She recovered from the disease but IN few

rhe In,er.stntc Commission Rcport.

The first annual report of the inter-
state commerce commission will encour-
age and strengthen the faith of the
country in the law under which it is act
ing. After an experience Of eight
months during which the act to regulate
commerce has been in operation, the
commission feels justified in saying that
il has, in general. been beneficial. In
many quarters there was at first some
Inconvenience resulting from the opera
tion of the law. and the business of some
parts of the country is not even yet fully
adjusted to it. but in the main the prin-
ciple and policy of the regulation
for which the act provides
have been vindicated. In put
ting an end to rebates, draw
backs. special rates on freight business
aud free passes in Interstate passenger
traffic. the railroads have been really
the gamers, while the results have
been eminently satisfactory to all that
portion of the public which did not de-
rive special or personal advantages
from these favors. With regard to the
abolition of free passes the commission
states that there has ensued some
reduction in passenger fares. especially
in the charge made for mileage tickets
in the northwest. The exceptionally
large volume OF freight traffic for the
year the commission believed was in no
small degree stimulated by Il growing
confidence that the days of rebates
and special rates were now ended,
and the report remarks that "the
reflex action of this confidence among
business men has been highly favorable
to the roads" Thus far, therefore.
the act, while largely fulfilling
the conditions demanded by the people
for their protection against unjust dis
elimination, has at the same time con-
trituted very substantially to the ad-
vantage of the railroads.
The commission suggests very few
changes in the law and most of these
relate to matters of detail and provis-
ions for enabling the commission
to more thoroughly and efficiently
perform its work. With regard
to the general features of the
act, the commission says they are
grounded on principles that will stand
the test of time and experience, and
only time and experience can determine
whether all the provisions made for
their enactment are safe, sound and
workable" Notwithstanding the law
was the outcome Of years of delibera-
tion in both branches of congress,
the fact that after eight
months Of operation, with every
possible obstacle thrown in the way, sc
few defects have been found in it, is an
exceptional and gratifying experience
most creditable to the trainers of the
act. There is perhaps no one who any
longer doubts that the regulation of in
ter-state commerce as provided for by
this act has become permanent policy
and there are perhaps very few who
would advise its abandonment. It has
been shown to be wise, just and neces
sary, and all that is now required t.
simplify its operation and extend it!
benefits is that the five hundred cor
porations subject to the provisions of the
act shall willingly and faithfully regard
| them

THE first trip of the new fast train ON
the B. & M. was successfully accom-
plished, and the advance step thus
achieved in rapid travel between the
east and west is one upon which the
public and the Burlington management
are to be heartily congratulated. 1t
marks the beginning of u change that
cannot long be restricted to one road or
to single daily train. The
other railroads will learn that there
is a demand for faster travel in the
west which they cannot ignore without
injury to their interests, and they will be
compelled to meet the new schedule of
the Burlington. 1t is probable that before
the end of the year all the roads will
have fast train, and it is very likely
that next year there will be a
further reduction cf time. In
provements in other respects will
accompany this change, so that
in every direction it will be benef-
cial. Among those who will particu-
larly appreciate it are the readers of the
BEE in scores of Nebraska towns, who
will hereafter receive their paper sew
eral hours earlier than they have been
doing. In all aspects the fast train is a
good thing. Now let the other roads
promptly emulate the commendable ex-
ample of the Burlington.
